What is the best way to allow remote administrative access to Windows Small Business Server 2003 using a Firboxe Edge firewall?
The Firebox is being the DHCP for the network. But the server has a static interal IP.
The internet connection is a DSL dynamic ip.
Thanks

I have about 50 2003 servers behind Firebox units, not the Edge, but I do a VPN (PPTP) into the firebox and then a rule to provide full access to all subnets once auth to the firebox - works like a champ.
Use remote web workplace. You need to open 443 and 4125 to the server.
Why??? Much better to use the DHCP in the SBS in my opinion.
As it should.
Not good. Either get a static or use DynDns
In watchguard is port 443 and 4125 one of the predefined settings, or should I put these ports in manually?
THanks
So, you are setting up a standard VPN from a destop to the firebox? To see the server console, what do you run, remote desktop?
Thanks
443 is HTTPS which is predefined. I just created a new rule for 4125 and called it RemoteWebWorkplace
It's hard to tell who you're asking since you don't properly quote the message you're replying too:
I use a XP (or other) PPTP VPN connection to the Firebox unit itself, then rules that allow the PPTP_User (not the PPTP_Users group) access to the internal network segments it needs). I do not use RD at all, it's a problem when you have 4 admins trying to do something and one forgets to close the session before exiting. I use VNC 4 on all my servers and only allow access to it from internal addresses.
